Oh no! Not your brand new porch! :( That sux! The winds and rain yesterday really did some damages. The news was full of delayed trains, trees down and outages. Hope the tree damage isn't too extensive.

Yeah, we're fully insured, so I'm not worried. Its a pretty clear cut case of storm damage, and we have high wind coverage. If the insurance company gives me shit, I'm going to go medieval on their asses.

OMG, that must have been a shock! I'm so glad no one was hurt! And I have to say, the contractor who built your porch did a great job, I would have expected a tree that size to crush whatever was in its path. A friend of my mom's had a tree fall on her house during a storm recently, and it pretty much sliced it in two.

I hope everything goes smoothly with the insurance company! Will the tree at least make suitable firewood? ;)

I think we were lucky in that the tree didn't come completely out of the ground, so its still rooted a bit. Also, it just glanced along the edge of the porch as opposed to slamming into it. Like I said, lucky!

I'm sure it would make suitable firewood, but we don't use our fireplace. Too much hassle for me to bother with.

Hooly crap! I'm glad that you're okay! That must have been scary as heck, though. I live up in Maine and it was clear as a bell here last night. We could see stars. Lol, yes, I am rubbing this in your face ;)

You guys were lucky. It was a nightmare from DC all the way up to NY. I know Jersey is a mess too. We appear to be the only people on the block lucky enough to have a tree tumble into the house *she says with sarcasm*

We can't even start to clean anything up until the insurance adjuster comes. But we had stuff all over the property, like garbage cans, and small branches. I took care of most of that today, though its still raining and I could only do so much.

Thanks. It took a lot of money to get the house looking like this. And even with the insurance covering most of the damage, I'm still going to have to get a landscaper in to repair the lawn, and the border to the driveway, and that won't be covered by insurance. :(
